So far in the Northeastern American colonies, we really haven't had winter, but predictions are for something resembling it to come in as a Canadian import in the next few days. Neither have we in the Westcountry of England, record overnight temperatures of 12.3 C last night in Devon ( we're verboten to know what that is in Fahrenheit ). Ah, well that is 54F give or take an inch Winter hasn't arrived here on the south Devon coast either. The average temperatures for December were 11.9C (52F) by day and 8.06 (46F) by night. So far, Jan has given days averaging 12.89C (55F) and nights of 9.33 (49F) with nothing below 6C (43F). Ignoring last winter (which for us was unusually cold), temperatures are some 2C up on previous recent years. A flower stem on a Crinum (Crinum moorei) that appeared very late in the year has developed yet more buds. These are opening, but the ravages of hailstorms, heavy rain and a fair amount of wind are taking their toll. Even a climbing Bauhinia has refused to shed its leaves and is still opening a few dishevilled flowers. |
